Answer 1

So I take it you want 2 options default selected, and then get the value of it? If so:

        No illustrations
        Illustrations
        Maps
        selectedPortraits
    

And to get value:

alert($(".leaderMultiSelctdropdown").val());

To set the value:

 $(".leaderMultiSelctdropdown").val(["a", "c"]);

You can also use an array to set the values:

var selectedValues = new Array();
selectedValues[0] = "a";
selectedValues[1] = "c";

$(".Books_Illustrations").val(selectedValues);
